Uphill Village Academy
The Cabot Learning Federation is a family of 35 schools in Bristol, Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and Somerset. We are a mature multi-academy trust (MAT) serving communities in the South West, and a leading partner in the Five Counties Teaching School Alliance.
Uphill Village Academy is a primary school committed to ‘Learning without Limits’ which means we believe every child is unique, intelligent and extraordinary and capable of more than they believe is possible.
Our excellent team provide a safe and caring environment where children develop the knowledge and skills they need to lead a flourishing life. We have strong sense of community within our school and the children are taught to work together to make our school, local community and world a better place.
Our curriculum is innovative and exciting offering the children enriching and purposeful experiences that result in high quality work for real audiences.
